Top negotiators for the NBA and players' association will meet tonight in a last-minute effort to avoid canceled regular-season games. Commissioner David Stern has set Monday as the deadline for a new labor deal.
The NBA players association is expected to meet in New York Monday to mull over the newest offer from the owners. The league wants a 72-game season to begin in one month. For that to happen, both sides will have to agree to end the lockout this week. If not, canceling the entire season might come next.
The NHL and players union officials were on break from negotiations Saturday, but took a lunch break together anyway. The informal session in New York came as talks broke off Friday after four-straight days at the bargaining table.
The remainder of the NBA exhibition schedule has been canceled and the first two weeks of the regular season will be cancelled if owners and players can’t agree to a new labor deal by Monday. NBA owners and players met for four hours Tuesday but failed to come any closer to a deal.
NBA Players Association Executive Director Billy Hunter says the league is about to cancel games until Christmas unless a deal is reached 4:00 p.m. CT Wednesday. The Timberwolves have 14 games scheduled in December, 12 of which are before Christmas.
Look for the NBA to cancel two more weeks of the regular season today. That means every game through November 28 will be scrapped. For the Wolves, that’s another four games deleted from the home schedule, against Milwaukee, San Antonio, Golden State and Houston.
NBA Commissioner David Stern has given players an ultimatium. They have until Wednesday to accept a chance to earn up to 51 percent of basketball-related income, or get ready for a deal that's a lot worse. While the union president says players won't be intimidated, Stern is ready to cancel more games if the labor issue isn't settled.
The Timberwolves were supposed to begin regular season play November 1st. Now the best they'll be able to do is start December 1st because Friday's NBA lockout talks between the owners and players broke down without a deal, thus wiping two more weeks of games off the schedule.
